Wing rib at Aileron question.

Hi all.

    I just noticed that the wing rib on one of my wings is not attached
to the rear where the center of the aileron will be (If you understand
my explanation).  On the left wing, it is attached slightly at the top
only, with some of that very dark epoxy used at the factory to attach
the ribs to the skins, but the area below that is open until the bottom
skin.  On the right wing, it isn't attached at all, except along the
bottom of the rib and bottom skin.  Which is correct, and why isn't it
rigidly attached top to bottom as are all the trailing ends of the other
wing ribs?
